Miriam's experience in an African hospital
Miriam shares her experience of her short stay at Galmi Hospital in Niger.
Katrin, Benin
I knew that one day I was going to become a nurse and when I was 10 I said to my mother: "One day I'll go to Africa and work in a hospital there". I've been in Africa since 2005 and I'm now head of the children's ward. I really enjoy my job. What a privilege!
A. and D., Myanmar
We've been here for over a year now, and what a privilege it's been to be able to discover a new culture, a new language and develop relationships with the local people. A. : Teaching English to young people who are so motivated has encouraged me, I've been impressed by their commitment to the work they have to do and their perseverance. D. : Connecting with different people and seeing God lead us in our future business is really rewarding and encourages us for the many challenges still ahead of us.
S. in Asia
I teach French, sports science and physical education in an international school in Asia. The community is multicultural, so it's very enriching. The exchange of knowledge is concrete and lively. The warmth and friendliness of the people makes you quickly forget the minor inconveniences and constraints associated with culture shock.
Aline, Burkina Faso
It would be impossible for me to sum up what I've been through: it's been an extraordinary experience! I learnt so many things! Some of which I suspected when I left: medical skills, interpersonal skills too, but also things I couldn't have foreseen.
